Description
ConceptI accidentally melted your tree. You didn't need that, did you?
This was an exercise done after I had taken my medication in just.. relaxing. I'm very structured when I draw, and sometimes run into stumbling blocks of being SO rigid about how things have to be drawn that I just don't know what to draw because it won't fit in the space I have. So for this I literally just took a pencil and drew random circles, then kind of.. let the shapes evolve from there. There was no rhyme or reason. Oh I like a curly feather here. Hey there's a great big eye! etc. I had no idea what it would come out like, but I enjoyed every moment of it.
Materials
This was also an experiment in derping with whatever I had on hand. So there are watercolors, there are acrylics, there are enamels, there are colored pencils used in this piece.

Side notes
I'll be taking a new photo of it soon, the lighting is a bit weird and the colors not QUITE true.
As this was my first step in practicing new things (being relaxed and not so rigid) I feel it was a pretty good step along the way of evolving my art. How are your practice pieces coming along? Β Β (don't forget, the deadline for submissions to me is January 1st. See my journal for details if this is confusing to you <3 )

The plumage of the phoenix is gorgeous. The intermixing of materials must make for a pretty striking piece in real life. Oh, and I also like the "ooops" expression on the bird! Nice job!

Aha this is adorable! Poor phoenixes, I never thought about them landing on flammable things and possibly accidentally setting fire to/melting them... I love what comes out of your brain when you just let it loose!

Well done, Jess. This is totally charming.
Trying to get chores done in spurts between resting the drawing/painting arm, so I don't get to play this time around.

Also, I love this little guy. So pretty and cute.
